Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans

Director Jeff Mednikow deserves praise for being behind this wholesome, short, hour and seventeen minute movie. Right off the bat i want to emphasize on the fact that this is a seriously under rated, feel good movie. Not to mention it was absolutely hilarious and as an audience we remained invested throughout the entire duration of the movie. I think a huge factor to why the movie was so enjoyable would be that it paid great homage to the original Teen Titans show which was the childhood of many. This was especially cool because it builds a bridge between those who grew up watching the original and those who grew up watching Teen Titans Go, choosing neither side but instead evoking a sense of kinsman-ship and satisfying both crowds. In this process a great contrast between the Titans is shown and it perhaps might be the real pulling factor for the movie where the production team decided to have the same voice actor for both versions of each character and indeed it played off well. This is a great example of how well written the script is. Also, music numbers were original, yes definitely cringe worthy but also would make you smile if you understand the references. My own personal favorite edition to the movie were the cameos done by the other versions of the teen titans and certainly the chemistry between the two Trigons. I do however feel like it could have been longer for sure and could even have had more character accuracy for the original titans perhaps. Unfortunately however as of December 2019, Teen Titans Vs Teen Titans GO! only made around $308,000 in DVD and Blu Ray sales which would be the least a DC Animation movie has earned to date, which in my opinion is tragic because it was a very fun watch, hitting the right notes and should be recognized for it. Critic ratings have also been average, this is meant to be a fun, silly watch and should also be judged with that mindset.

I have to admit i always hated teen titans go for replacing teen titans but, as an old man I think i had way too much fun watching this movie

When many of us wanted a revival of Teen Titans, I doubt a crossover movie with Teen Titans Go was something we wanted. Just like with Teen Titans Go To The Movies, expectations can be turned on our heads. This movie is very funny, with a nice amount of action and both teams portrayed respectfully. A nice solid message on teamwork helps make the movie great.

1 is too high of a rating for this movie. It wasn't "Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans" but "Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans Go! Draw With Slightly More Normal Proportions". The Teen Titans characters were completely out of character compared to the original show. The movie lacked the seriousness, charm and well-placed good humor that the original show had and instead relied solely on the same stupidity present in Go! to carry it. When you tease a revival, at least make an effort to write the characters well regardless of how you bring them back. This is a mockery. Go! was bad enough but they're trying to ruin to original Teen Titans now too.

Now, now, keep an open mind. This is my own personal opinion.

Yeah, I know, it still won't top Trouble in Tokyo, or even Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but I just love watching the original Titans again. Yeah, I will say, some of the writing can be a little immature, two songs weren't very memorable, the animation on the 2003 counterparts aren't as well done, and it just wasn't the best comeback for the 2003 series. But the writing, most of the time, can be very good, most of the jokes can be funny, it does have its more serious moments, the acting is great, the fight scenes are epic, and I just love how the Teen Titans of infinite Earths joined together.

Yes, there are a number of aspects the first film did better, mostly with the backgrounds, but I just preferred this.

Honestly, I'd take this over Kangaroo Jack: G'Day, USA!, the Lego Ninjago Movie, Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the Norm of the North sequels, In Search of the Titanic, and Ice Age: Continental Drift, any day.

I can only recommend this who are interested. If you do enjoy both versions of Teen Titans, check it out. If you don't enjoy Teen Titans Go! At all, then don't watch it.

Overall, while I still wanted a season 6 of the original, I say this is a very decent movie.
